Why would one use Docker for Desktop when Rancher Desktop exists?

It's not about just running the containers. It's that applications are distributed with a docker compose file as the setup medium.
What do you mean by that? You use Docker Compose to distribute to production? Into what?
I'm surprised to see RedHat thinking that programmers will prefer a desktop GUI interface to CLI for operations like starting containers. I thought that thinking had died out 20 years ago and that even Java and Windows people understood that it wasn't what programmers wanted.
You think all programmers are HN-level passionate? Most of my colleagues don't know what a ssh public key is used for.
You're of course right that there's a huge diversity of programmers (in terms of experience, background, and extent to which they give a shit even if they're experienced and had access to the most helpful family background and best education a wealthy developed country can provide). But don't you kind of think that we should still encourage all programmers to see that _programmatic_ interfaces (in particular shell programming interfaces) offer so much power that they should be embraced and looked upon with enthusiasm where possible? And that we should not create static non-programmable GUI interfaces for programmers?
Anyone using Podman on a macOS? How's the experience compared to Docker Desktop?
Podman Desktop simply doesn’t work, on first run it loops forever on initializing stuff (I guess it tries to create the Podman machine but fails? No idea because it doesn’t say what’s wrong, nor where to look). So I tried Podman bare without Podman desktop and it’s not a lot better, the machine starts fine and I can run containers, but every time my computer wakes up from hibernate, the containers and the machine are stuck. I have to recreate the whole Podman machine from scratch.
I loved the idea of rootless but it doesn’t work on Mac. And I won’t believe I’m the only person having the exact same set of issues on 2 different MacBooks
What problem does Docker's daemon actually solve? To me it always felt over-engineered.
Having a daemon is inherently faster, period. I was disappointed by Podman because almost all operations including `podman ps`, `podman run` were slower than their Docker counterparts. After many releases Podman got faster, but still not on a par with Docker.
I started using docker a bit late, only about 3 years ago. My big question is if it is common knowledge that Docker Desktop creates a separate VM in which one's Docker Engine runs, not your host running Docker, but that VM inside your host. That separate VM indirection does not appear to be common knowledge, especially for 3rd party developers, because utilities that are supposed to work with Docker only work without…
> common knowledge that Docker Desktop creates a separate VM I mean, I know that linux containers only run on linux (please ignore docker for windows which briefly did not need a vm, that is thing of the past now). I don't know if other people know that linux containers only run on linux. > utilities that are supposed to work with Docker only work without Docker Desktop, or are unaware of Docker Desktop's VM and when…
The transition to Docker development is very poorly documented. I've taken two formal classes in Docker, read a book, and have half a dozen Docker projects done and delivered and this is the first time I've even heard one needs to manually set "$DOCKER_HOST". This industry is just a bunch of overly paid amateurs, blindly groping in a dark cave, a cave carved out of money.

I wonder if Rancher Desktop, et al, works with testcontainers.org?
I don't use testcontainers myself, but it looks like as long as you are using Rancher Desktop >= 1.0.1 you should be just fine.[1]
